This is the story of my Covid-19 infection and how I used 20-year-old expired film and broken cameras to record that moment of my life.
One week before the French Lockdown
I met with a friend for a quick lens test, we talked and walked for 2 hours.
I Didn't realize it but I was infected by just talking with her on that day.
5 days later, she posted this on Instagram.
On the first days of Lockdown, I quickly decided to record this adventure on film,
I didn't want to shoot digitally, because I wanted to take time and think before shooting important moments.
The only problem at that time was that going to shops or buying online was almost impossible, so I had to do with what I had at home.
I had the 35mm camera that belonged to my parents a Fujica ST701 with a M42 mount.
and I had the Medium format camera my friend Justin have lent me a Zenza Bronica safari edition.
Now i had two big problems:
First i had no new 35mm film to put in the camera, but I had some rare Fujifilm Superia Xtra that was expired for 20 years I bought for 1 euro in a garage sale.
I had no idea if it would work, maybe I would get not a single image from this film but I had no other choice at that moment.
The second problem was that my friend lent me his medium format without knowing it was broken.
The camera was not focusing properly as you can see on those two photos,
and the back was full of light leaks.
but I will discover that way later.
first days where ok, we spent our time working and trying to relax.
The first week of lockdown was ending and i decided to go out for the allowed daily 1 hour walk
I didn't had a real mask yet, and it was pretty cold outside.
Streets were totally empty and the only people i saw were lining up in front of the supermarket.
The only animal i saw that day was a bird.
i came back home with a slight sore throat.
3 hours later my throat was hurting like hell.
The next morning i was feeling very tired and i had fever.
at that moment i felt like i had the flue but I knew that i was in contact with someone with Covid.
in the evening i tried to smell some this flower ... but nothing.
I could put my nose on top of a perfume bottle and smell nothing.
When i got my test results it was official, i had Covid-19.
from here i was not capable to shoot anything on my cameras.
this is a selfie i took 5 min after learning it was covid.
I was sick For 8 days, I did all I could to self isolate and keep my wife safe.
I was eating on the couch away from her and because everything tasted like wet cardboard, i only ate porridge for 2 days.
3 days later,This Homemade green tea cheesecake was the first thing I ate when my smell and taste came back
6 days later I was feeling better so we tried to stay occupied by creating a Lego lens that would later become a video on my channel.
After being locked inside for 2 months we finally had a chance to go outside and walk in the forest.
One week later we did our first hike and it was also the last frame on the film.
in the end even if most of the photos i shot during quarantine are not perfect and even sharp, they have a special something that I really like.
Never forget that your story matters way more than your gear.
